The concept is pretty easily, pick your ten favorite movies from the eighties. The hard part? I want JUST movies from the eighties, not movies you might have seen during the eighties. Also, try and avoid movies that came out after the eighties if possible, 1990 is pretty borderline, I won't scream too loudly if you add one that is from then...

I remember watching this movie all the time when I was a kid. It has a great setting/plot. A lower-class single mother moves her son across the country in his best interest, but backfires on the teen as he gets the sh*t beat out of him!

By far the best movie of the original trilogy. Just leaves you hanging wanting more.

Star Wars comes first and fore most everytime....70's and 80's Horror movies are my one true love though. None of this 90's and 2000's sissy "Teen Horror" where everyone is so afraid to show a little blood and you have to have a "pop star" in it to move the tickets...70's and 80's horror held nothing back

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." Gordon Gekko and the pre-1987 mentality RULE!

The '80s isn't JUST John Hughes and a few wacky action movies. It's also Oliver Stone, the last gasp of Sir David Lean, and the establishment of some great modern stars. Best of all, though, it saw some of the best films of all time, including Wall Street, which is my hands down favorite for any time period.

Jesus struggles with his destiny upon discovering that he is the Messiah. His greatest temptation is to renounce his mission in favor of an "ordinary" life. Reverent and beautiful dispite what you may have heard.

6. Mephisto

Empty, amoral stage actor betrays his friends to the Nazis, who in return advance his career. Horrifying 20th Century take of the "deal with the devil" myth.
